There was some surge a little bit due to typhhon.
But we can enjoy diving in a whole days.

The guest who comes from Germany and Australia today.
The number of overseas guest become more and more recently.

I would be happy if the sea of Kushimoto spread to the world.

I received some request that want to see nudis and Japan endemic species.

I showed this nudi at first dive.
They likes it. They said they had never seen it before.

And Today’s guest likes tiny underwater creatures.
So, I showed them tiny nudi.

The size is 2mm lol.
I was glad that they were so enthusiastic about taking photos.

And I also introduced them Japan endemic species.

The English name is Japanese butterfly fish.
I know the English name, but I don’t know the academic name.

The academic name is Chaetodon nippon.

The name include Japan!!! “Nippon” means Japan.
So I guess it is Japan endemic species.
I have to noted the academic name.

Others We saw many kinds of fishes in a day!!
There are so many fishes now.

You can see many kinds of fishes. So, you must enjoy diving in Kushimoto now.

See you then(^^)/

I dived with American guest in last night and today.
He likes Nudibranchs and macro creatures.

So, I try to find various of macro creatures, especially nudibranch.
There still are many nudibranchs in Kushimoto area.

At last night, we can see Japanese pigmy sea horse.
It is so rare!! So, I’m so happy to find it at night diving.

At night, some nudi become active.
So, it is easier to find them.

We can see so many nudibranchs for two days!!!!

We could see many kinds of Nudibranchs.
Now, the number of Tambja Nudi is increasing.

The size is so small!!
It is better to use camera to see this nudibranchs.

And there also are two frog fish in a bay side dive area.

 

Can you find frog fish in this pic??
The frog fish is good at hiding. So, I have to search where the frog fish are.

I had good time for two days.
I wonder if he could have good  dive in our shop.

Other overseas guest will come to our shop tomorrow.
I will do my best to increase the number of overseas tourists who come to our shop.

See you then(^^)/

The sea condition is still rough….
But we can dive in a whole day.

I was surprised that the water temperature is getting lower.
It is 20 degree today(^^;)

Today’s guest likes to see tiny underwater creatures.
So, I show them tiny nudibranchs so much.

Can you find the nudibranch in this picture ??
The size is about 0.5mm.
When I can find underwater creatures like this size, I’m so happy!!!

Recently, the number of Striped butterfly fish is increasing.

The color is so beautiful(^^)

Some Cardinalfish protect their eggs in their mouth.
It is difficult to observe with you eyes. I recommend you to use compact camera.

The water temperature changes from day to day, which makes it hard for the fish.

I hope the water temperature is warmer than today.
See you then(^^)/
